Seth C. Cary, JOHN CARY, THE PLYMOUTH PILGRIM, (1911) 2009.$9.95 http://www.WhollyGen...f...WS&p=US0620Seth Cary has compiled a genealogy of the family and descendants of John Carey, who had settled in Duxbury, Massachusetts, by 1637. The author made an effort to follow female as well as male lines. In the early generations, this generally extended to the children and sometimes grandchildren of a Cary daughter. In the later generations, and especially in the accounts of those living in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, this coverage was quite extensive. (more...)

=== New Data CDs from the Great Britain ===================

The following data CDs from Great Britain are now available from WhollyGenes.com:

KELLY'S POST OFFICE DIRECTORY OF SURREY 1867.$24.49 http://www.WhollyGen...f...WS&p=IE5027Republished here on full-searchable CD-Rom is the 1867 edition of Kelly's Post Office Directory of Surrey. Containing nearly 450 printed pages, which includes a map of the county. As with most other directories published by Kelly's, this 1867 Surrey edition, although primarily a directory, also serves as a gazetteer.

THE PARISH REGISTERS AND PAROCHIAL DOCUMENTS IN THE ARCHDEACONRY OF WINCHESTER.$11.95 http://www.WhollyGen...f...WS&p=IE5028Published in 1909 by the Wykeham Press, The Parish Registers and Parochial Documents in the Archdeaconry of Winchester was edited by the then Archdeacon of Winchester, William Andrews Fearon, D.D., and the Curate of Burghclere, John Foster Williams, M.A. Containing some 204 printed pages, the title of this publication, as the authors themselves admit, is a little misleading. On the first count, this publication is, although fascinating, an inventory of the Hampshire parochial records held in the Archdeaconry of Winchester; and on the second count, the inventory conducted by Messrs Fearon and Williams ceases in 1812 for parish registers and 1800 for parochial records.
